The bird is quite far away. I wonder if it is a Long-billed Dowitcher or a Black-tailed Godwit.
Photos taken on March 2, 2021 in North Floating Hide, Mai Po Nature Reserve.
Sorry for the not-so-clear images.

It's a Black-tailed Godwit. Long-billed Dowitcher is smaller, shorter-legged and shorter-billed. See http://orientalbirdimages.org/se ... y_ID=&Location= for a photo of L-b Dowitcher.
